Caveat, I am not a Linux person, but have watched SunOS and
FreeBSD booting way too many times.

My impression on reading this is that the entries in /etc/fstab don't
match the devices assigned between the BIOS and kernel.  It looks to me
like you are getting through the boot loader and the kernel has enumerated
the devices, so you must be reading a drive (assuming I didn't lose track
and you were net booting).  And it just seems like the right time in the
boot process that /etc/fstab has just come into play.
